OBJECTIVE
To reduce the incidence of incisional hernia (IH) in colorectal surgery by implanting a mesh on the overlay position.
BACKGROUND
The incidence of IH in colorectal surgery may be as high as 40%. IH causes severe health and cosmetic problems, and its repair increases health care costs.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Randomized, controlled, prospective… (More)

A fundamental problem of future networks is to get fully self-organized routing protocols with good scalability properties that produce good paths in a wide range of network densities. Current approaches, geographic routing and table based routing, fail to provide very good scalability with good paths in sparse networks. We propose a method based on the… (More)

Geographic routing is a well established solution for scaling in large wireless ad-hoc networks. A fundamental issue is forwarding packets around voids to reach destinations in networks with sparse topologies. All general known solutions need first to get into a dead end, at link level, to be able afterwards to apply a recovery algorithm. These techniques… (More)
